Development Evaluation

DE is a cutting edge and an adaptive approach to evaluation in an environment of real-time complexities in emergent situations, centered around fast-paced innovation and decision-making in organizations. SDS is one of the few agencies in India having experience of successfully delivering complex assignments for an international client. Placed as an evaluator, SDS anchored the Developmental Evaluation work by being embedded in the organizational environment, and working at the level of structural systems and processes in the program organization to co-drive the DE process with key stakeholders of the program organization. The idea was to collectively conceptualize, design and test new approaches in the dynamic social sector, with a supportive evaluation approach focused on bringing about long-term and on-going process of continuous improvement, adaptation and intentional change.

Baseline study

In complex and volatile environments, where baseline conditions are to be assessed in line with the proposed changing dynamics between the major systems/ institutions over the course of the program, baseline studies revolve around asking critical questions for evaluation and gathering information along the way of the program. SDS has built the internal capacities to conceptualize such studies that enable effective feedback loops of information, and support developmental decision-making and course corrections along the emergent path of the program for the organization as well as for the evaluation of the program. - SDS has honed & developed the capabilities to conduct the same across geographies in a shortest possible time using tech enabled functions & the intense reach of its personnel. SDS also provides services in conceptualizing, deploying the study, data collection & analysis.

 

Impact Evaluation

SDS has been working towards developing adaptive learning frameworks; instead of evaluation frameworks in emergent and complex work environments. This will involve a broad mapping of the learning priorities of the program as it goes forward, done in a collaborative manner with the program organization. The idea is to enable a framework for the learning to be focused on, even involving conducting rapid assessments to measure impacts and learn. SDS plan, strategize & execute the impact evaluation for projects of various scales.
